Employee satisfaction
Results from the survey and rankings
For the past ten years, we have conducted an annual employee survey. All employees world-wide are invited to take part. One of the goals of this survey is to determine the employees’ satisfaction with the bank’s business strategy and governance concept, and with their own work situation. An important component of the survey is the so-called Commitment Index, which measures the extent to which employees identify with their company.
Highest Commitment Index ever
Deutsche Bank’s Commitment Index achieved its best marks ever with 77 points (out of 100) in 2009, a year that was especially challenging for the financial industry. The survey is followed up by a structured process in which measures for improvement are defined and implemented.
Top places in employer rankings
Contrary to the general industry trend, the bank not only remained an attractice employer, but also improved its attractiveness in certain respects in 2009. We gained considerable ground, for example in the prestigious study "The World´s Most Admired Companies" published by the Hay Group in cooperation with Fortune Magazine. Further in the "Most Admired Banks" study, we advanced from 16th to seventh place within one year - a year overshadowed by the financial crisis.
